Starting a food blog can be a rather intimidating process; there's just so much to learn! What should I name my blog? What aspect of food, cooking or dining should be my focus? Which blogging platform should I use? How do some food bloggers take such glorious food photos, and how can I do that too? Just for starters. And then after you start your blog, the learning curve seems to get even steeper. It does get easier after a while, but honestly, there's so much to learn and the technology and social media landscape changes so quickly that even those of us with years of experience doing this can find ourselves overwhelmed with everything we need to know or should be doing.

The good news is that Kelly Senyei has written an easy-to-understand, rather comprehensive book for the “Dummies” series on the nitty gritty of food blogging, Food Blogging For Dummies. The book is packed with useful advice and tips that even experienced food bloggers will find helpful. Photography, food styling, web design, writing, the food blogging community, marketing, monetization, they're all covered well, with plenty of detail but not so much that it's too much to take in. Kelly herself is a food blogger, which I think makes a world of difference. She blogs at Just a Taste, and is an associate editor for Gourmet Live. Several of us contributed ideas and feedback to Kelly as she wrote the book, so the book not only reflects Kelly's experience but knowledge from the greater food blogging community. Congrats to Kelly, and if you are interested in learning how to start a food blog or take your blog up a notch or two, I highly recommend Food Blogging for Dummies as a great place to start.
